Improving Production, Chlorophyll a and Carotenoids Contents of Gracilaria sp. with Liquid Organic Fertilizer from Alginate Waste

Abstract: Chlorophyll is a photosynthetic pigment, used in the food sector as a natural dye in food. Carotenoids is used in the health sector to prevent several disease in humans. The production and pigment contents are influenced by nutrient availability. The aim of this study was to increase the production of chlorophyll a and carotenoids contents in Gracilaria sp. Seaweed obtained from Demak aquaculture ponds, then cultivated in aquarium for 28 days.Alginate from Sargassum sp. waste fertilizer was prepared by adding … Show more

“…The concept expressed was not in accordance with the existing concept where chlorophyll as a green substance is located not only in leaves, but also in almost all green parts of plants, which are leaves, stems, and fruit (Yudiati et al, 2021). Chlorophyll in plants is located in chloroplasts scattered throughout the plant body.…”

“…The production and content of pigments depends on nutrient availability particularly nitrates and phosphates (Yudiati et al, 2021). Potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ) considerably increased chlorophyll content as compared to other potassium sources because it contains nitrate which plays important role in vegetative growth of plants by improving chlorophyll content (Zhang and Shangguan, 2007).…”
